Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Umlaufregal mit einer Viel­zahl von in einem Gehäuse umlaufenden Trägern, von denen jeweils einer in den Bereich einer an der Vorder-­und/oder Rückseite des Gehäuses vorgesehenen Be- und Entladeöffnung überführbar ist.The invention relates to a circulation rack with a plurality of carriers rotating in a housing, one of which can be transferred into the area of a loading and unloading opening provided on the front and / or rear of the housing.

Umlaufregale der vorgenannten Art, die auch als Pater­nosterschränke bzw. Paternosterförderer bezeichnet wer­den, haben regelmäßig nur eine an der Vorderseite ihres Gehäuses angeordnete, durch mindestens eine Schiebetür verschließbare Be- und Entladestation. Lediglich ver­einzelt sind insbesondere für den Einsatz in großen Lagern von Industriebetrieben bestimmte Umlaufregale bekanntgeworden, die an ihrer Gehäuserückseite eben­falls eine Be- und Entladeöffnung aufweisen. Für die Anordnung von Be- und Entladeöffnungen an der Vorder­bzw. Rückseite des Gehäuses sprechen nicht nur der Grundaufbau eines Umlaufregales, sondern auch die gute Zugänglichkeit der in den Bereich der Be- und Entlade­öffnung überführten Träger des Umlaufregales über deren gesamte Breite.Circulating racks of the aforementioned type, which are also referred to as paternoster cabinets or paternoster conveyors, generally only have one loading and unloading station arranged on the front of their housing and closable by at least one sliding door. Circulation racks, which likewise have a loading and unloading opening on their rear side, have become known only occasionally, in particular for use in large warehouses by industrial companies. For the arrangement of loading and unloading openings on the front or The rear of the housing not only speaks of the basic structure of a circulating rack, but also the good accessibility of the carriers of the circulating rack which are transferred into the area of the loading and unloading opening over their entire width.

Untersuchungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Einsatz von bekannten Umlaufregalen als Werkzeugspeicher in moder­nen Fertigungssystemen haben gezeigt, daß der Werkzeug­fluß vom Werkzeugspeicher zur Werkzeugmaschine häufig nicht zu befriedigen vermag. So lassen sich beispiels­weise mehrfache Richtungswechsel und vergleichsweise lange Übertragungswege nicht vermeiden, wenn das Umlauf­ regal neben der mit Werkzeugen zu bestückenden Werkzeug­maschine steht.Investigations in connection with the use of known circulation racks as tool storage in modern production systems have shown that the tool flow from the tool storage to the machine tool is often unsatisfactory. For example, multiple changes of direction and comparatively long transmission paths cannot be avoided if the circulation shelf stands next to the machine tool to be equipped with tools.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Umlauf­regal zu schaffen, das sich in besonderem Maße für den Einsatz als Werkzeugspeicher in Fertigungsbetrieben eignet und das bei Anordnung neben einer Werkzeugma­schine die Realisierung kürzester Übertragungswege zwi­schen Umlaufregal und Werkzeugmaschine ermöglicht. Die­se Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß mindestens eine Seitenwand des Gehäuses im Bereich der an der Vorder- bzw. Rückseite des Gehäuses angeordne­ten Be- und Entladeöffnung mit mindestens einer zusätz­lichen Be- und Entladeöffnung versehen ist.The invention has for its object to provide a circulation rack that is particularly suitable for use as a tool storage in manufacturing companies and that allows the realization of shortest transmission paths between the circulation rack and machine tool when arranged next to a machine tool. This object is achieved in that at least one side wall of the housing is provided with at least one additional loading and unloading opening in the region of the loading and unloading opening arranged on the front and rear of the housing.

Das erfindungsgemäße Umlaufregal bietet den Vorteil, daß die zusätzliche Be- und Entladeöffnung seines Ge­häuses eine seitliche Ankopplung von mit Gütern aus dem Umlaufregal zu versorgenden Stationen ermöglicht, wobei diese Stationen nicht zwingend von Werkzeugmaschine, sondern beispielsweise auch von Arbeitsplätzen gebildet werden können und als Ladegut nicht nur Werkzeuge, son­dern auch Werkstücke in Betracht kommen.The circulation rack according to the invention has the advantage that the additional loading and unloading opening of its housing enables lateral coupling of stations to be supplied with goods from the circulation rack, these stations not being able to be formed by machine tools, but also, for example, by workplaces and not as loads only tools, but also workpieces.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der nachfolgenden Be­schreibung eines in der beigefügten Zeichnung dargestell­ten, besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispieles. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 die perspektivische Ansicht von Teilen eines ne­ben einer Abkantmaschine installierten Umlaufre­gales,
  • Fig. 2 die perspektivische Ansicht eines einzelnen Trägers des in Fig. 1 dargestellten Umlaufre­gales,
  • Fig. 3 einen Schnitt durch den Träger gemäß Fig. 2,
  • Fig. 4 eine Seitenansicht des Trägers gemäß Fig. 2 und 3 und
  • Fig. 5 teilweise im Schnitt eine Einzelheit des Trägers gemäß Fig. 2 bis 4.
Further details and features of the invention emerge from the subclaims and the following description of a particularly advantageous exemplary embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing. Show it:
  • 1 is a perspective view of parts of a circulation rack installed next to a folding machine,
  • 2 is a perspective view of a single carrier of the circulation rack shown in FIG. 1,
  • 3 shows a section through the carrier according to FIG. 2,
  • Fig. 4 is a side view of the carrier according to FIGS. 2 and 3 and
  • 5 shows, in section, a detail of the carrier according to FIGS. 2 to 4.

In Fig. 1 sind mit 1 allgemein eine Abkantmaschine und mit 2 allgemein ein Umlaufregal bezeichnet.In Fig. 1, 1 generally denotes a folding machine and 2 generally denotes a circulation rack.

Die Abkantmaschine 1 besitzt einen Tisch 3 zur Aufnahme von Unterwerkzeugen 4 und einen auf- und abbewegbaren Stempel 5 zur Aufnahme von Oberwerkzeugen 6, wobei Tisch 3 und Stempel 5 mit Aufnahmen 7,8 für die unter­schiedlichen Werkstücken entsprechenden, austauschbaren Werkzeuge versehen sind.The folding machine 1 has a table 3 for receiving lower tools 4 and an up and down movable punch 5 for receiving upper tools 6, table 3 and punch 5 being provided with receptacles 7, 8 for exchangeable tools corresponding to the different workpieces.

Das Umlaufregal 2 dient als Werkzeugspeicher für die Abkantmaschine 1. Die Vorderwand 9 seines Gehäuses 10 weist, wie dies allgemein üblich ist, eine sich über annähernd die gesamte Gehäusebreite erstreckende, durch eine auf- und abbewegbare Schiebetür 9A verschließbare Be- und Entladeöffnung 11 auf. Das Gehäuse 10 ist außer­dem im Bereich seiner Seitenwand 12, und zwar in unmit­telbarer Nähe der Be- und Entladeöffnung 11 und in gleicher Höhe wie diese, mit einer durch eine Siche­rungsklappe 13 verschließbaren zusätzlichen Be- und Entladeöffnung 14 versehen. Die Sicherungsklappe 13 verhindert im in der Zeichnung dargestellten geöff­neten Zustand einen Umlauf der Träger 15 des Umlauf­regales 2, während sie im geschlossenen Zustand durch Einwirken auf einen Endschalter 16 einen Umlauf zu­läßt, soweit dieser nicht durch weitere Sicherheits­einrichtungen unterbunden bleibt, zu denen unter ande­rem eine Lichtschranke 17 gehört.The circulating rack 2 serves as a tool store for the folding machine 1. The front wall 9 of its housing 10 has, as is generally customary, a loading and unloading opening 11 which extends over almost the entire width of the housing and can be closed by a sliding door 9A which can be moved up and down. The housing 10 is also in the region of its side wall 12, in the immediate vicinity of the loading and unloading opening 11 and at the same height as this, with an additional loading and closing device which can be closed by a securing flap 13 Provide discharge opening 14. The safety flap 13 prevents circulation of the carrier 15 of the circulation rack 2 in the open state shown in the drawing, while in the closed state it allows circulation by acting on a limit switch 16, provided that this is not prevented by further safety devices, including a light barrier 17 heard.

Einzelheiten des Aufbaues der Träger 15 ergeben sich aus den Figuren 2 bis 5. Jeder Träger 15 besitzt ei­nen Boden 18, zwei Seitenwände 19,20 und eine Rückwand 21, wobei die Breite der Seitenwände 19 um einen Be­trag kleiner als die Tiefe der Böden 18 ist, der min­destens gleich der Breite der zusätzlichen Be- und Entladeöffnung 14 ist.Details of the structure of the supports 15 are shown in FIGS. 2 to 5. Each support 15 has a base 18, two side walls 19, 20 and a rear wall 21, the width of the side walls 19 being smaller by an amount than the depth of the bases 18 which is at least equal to the width of the additional loading and unloading opening 14.

Auf dem Boden 18 des Trägers 15 ist hin- und herver­schiebbar ein Gutaufnahmeschlitten 22 gelagert, der mit einer Kastenprofilschiene 23 zur Aufnahme der Unterwerkzeuge 4 ausgestattet ist. Um eine leichte Beweglichkeit des Gutaufnahmeschlittens 22 zu gewähr­leisten, ist dieser als auf in U-Profilschienen 24 ge­führten Kugelrollen 25 gelagerter Rollbehälter ausge­bildet.On the bottom 18 of the carrier 15, a receiving carriage 22 is slidably supported, which is equipped with a box profile rail 23 for receiving the lower tools 4. In order to ensure easy movement of the receiving carriage 22, it is designed as a roller container mounted on ball rollers 25 guided in U-shaped rails 24.

Im rechten Teil der Fig. 3 und in Fig. 4 ist der Gut­aufnahmeschlitten 22 in seiner Be- und Entladeposition dargestellt, während der linke Teil der Fig. 3 die Speicherposition des Gutaufnahmeschlittens 22 zeigt. Zur Arretierung des Gutaufnahmeschlittens 22 in den genannten Positionen dient ein Verriegelungselement 26, dessen Spitze unter der Einwirkung einer Feder 27 in Rastlöcher 28 einer Rastleiste 29 gedrückt wird. Durch Schwenken eines Hebels 30 kann das Verriegelungselement 26 entriegelt werden.In the right part of FIG. 3 and in FIG. 4, the goods receiving carriage 22 is shown in its loading and unloading position, while the left part of FIG. 3 shows the storage position of the goods receiving carriage 22. To lock the Gutaufnahmeschlitten 22 in the a locking element 26 is used, the tip of which is pressed under the action of a spring 27 into locking holes 28 of a locking bar 29. The locking element 26 can be unlocked by pivoting a lever 30.

Zur Aufnahme der Oberwerkzeuge 6 dient eine von Ausle­gern 31 eines Traggerüstes gehaltene Halteschiene 32, an deren der zusätzlichen Be- und Entladeöffnung 14 zu­gewandtem Ende eine Sperre 33 angeordnet ist, die durch eine Blattfeder 34 in ihrer Sperrstellung gehalten wird, in der ein an der Blattfeder 34 befestigter Sperrstift 35 in ein Rastloch 36 eines mit der Sperre 33 verbunde­nen Schiebers 37 greift. Durch Schwenken der Blattfeder 34 kann der Sperrstift 35 aus dem Rastloch 36 entfernt und die Sperre 33 daraufhin in ihre Freigabestellung überführt werden, in der der Sperrstift 35 in ein zwei­tes Rastloch 38 des Schiebers 37 einrasten kann. 39 ist ein Endanschlag, der das Herausziehen des Schiebers 37 aus seiner Führung 40 verhindert.To hold the upper tools 6 is a holding rail 32 held by arms 31 of a supporting frame, at whose end facing the additional loading and unloading opening 14 there is a lock 33 which is held in its locked position by a leaf spring 34, in which one on the leaf spring 34 attached locking pin 35 engages in a locking hole 36 of a slide 37 connected to the lock 33. By pivoting the leaf spring 34, the locking pin 35 can be removed from the locking hole 36 and the lock 33 can then be transferred into its release position, in which the locking pin 35 can snap into a second locking hole 38 of the slide 37. 39 is an end stop which prevents the slide 37 from being pulled out of its guide 40.

Am unteren Ende des mit der Sperre 33 verbundenen Schie­bers 37 ist eine Blende 41 angeordnet, die in der Sperr­stellung der Sperre 33 den Lichtstrahl der Lichtschranke 17 unterbricht und in Sperrstellung eine der Voraus­setzungen für eine Umlaufbewegung der Träger 15 schafft.At the lower end of the slide 37 connected to the lock 33, an aperture 41 is arranged, which in the locked position of the lock 33 interrupts the light beam from the light barrier 17 and, in the locked position, creates one of the prerequisites for a circular movement of the carrier 15.

Dadurch, daß der Gutaufnahmeschlitten 22 aus seiner in Fig. 3 rechts dargestellten Position in seine in der gleichen Figur links dargestellten Position überführbar ist, läßt sich eine ausgewogene Lastverteilung der auf den Trägern 15 gespeicherten Güter erreichen, indem bei­spielsweise vermieden wird, daß von an der Halteschiene 32 aufgehängten und auf den Gutaufnahmeschlitten 22 ge­lagerten Gütern gleichgerichtete Drehmomente auf den Träger 15 ausgeübt werden.Because the receiving carriage 22 can be transferred from its position shown on the right in FIG. 3 to its position shown on the left in the same figure is, a balanced load distribution of the goods stored on the carriers 15 can be achieved, for example, by avoiding that the same torque is exerted on the carrier 15 by goods suspended from the holding rail 32 and mounted on the goods receiving sled 22.

In der Praxis ist auf jeweils einem Träger 15 jeweils ein Satz von zur Herstellung eines bestimmten Werk­stückes eines Produktionsprogrammes benötigten Unter- und Oberwerkzeugen 4,6 gespeichert. Um die jeweils be­nötigten, regelmäßig schweren Werkzeuge auf dem schnell­sten und kürzesten Weg von der Abkantmaschine 1 in das Umlaufregal 2 oder umgekehrt überführen zu können, las­sen sich zwischen die Abkantmaschine 1 und das Umlauf­regal 2 Gutübertragungsbrücken 42 und 43 einsetzen, deren Längsachsen mit den Längsachsen des in Be- und Entladeposition überführten Gutaufnahmeschlittens 22 und der Halteschiene 32 sowie mit den Längsachsen der Aufnahmen 7 und 8 fluchten. Der Werkzeugwechsel läßt sich mithin durch einfaches Verschieben der Werkzeuge ohne Richtungswechsel bewerkstelligen.In practice, a set of lower and upper tools 4, 6 required for the production of a specific workpiece in a production program is stored on a carrier 15. In order to be able to transfer the required, regularly heavy tools in the fastest and shortest way from the folding machine 1 into the circulation rack 2 or vice versa, good transfer bridges 42 and 43 can be used between the folding machine 1 and the circulation rack 2, the longitudinal axes of which are aligned with the longitudinal axes of the aligned in the loading and unloading position of the receiving carriage 22 and the holding rail 32 and with the longitudinal axes of the receptacles 7 and 8. The tool change can therefore be accomplished by simply moving the tools without changing the direction.
